Trump -- Too much debt, must cut entitlements

Nothing sends me off the deep end like this shit. And we all saw it coming. But the media doesn’t even mention it.

We have too much debt due, in large part, to the massive tax cuts you gave to the rich, asshole.

But, that’s been the strategy all along — starve the beast, then cry poverty.

Too many programs that help the poor, seniors, students, the disabled, et al. are gonna be cut if asswipe gets re-elected.

And, just now on CNN, there was a lengthy discussion of the issue of debt and cuts to programs. Not a single fucking syllable was uttered about the Trump tax cuts.

I’m livid. I’m disgusted. I’m outraged. I’m downright mad.

and this should be in the top 5 issues that ALL democrats run on thru out America on every level of race.

massive taxcuts to the top 1% has done all the GOP wanted to do so now they point at the massive deficits and say...see we need to cut cut cut

gop voters always believe the cuts never affect them as they deserve the "entitlement"

We have plenty of proposed trump budgets and video now. Trump wants to cut social security and medicare if he is re-elected. It is time to show granny getting pushed off of a cliff. The right wingers hated that commercial, but it was very effective.

Needs to be putting out statements condemning trump and all Republicans for even suggesting this. The media is by not saying much are helping trump, and by showing him repeat his propaganda they know is lies. I've been reducing my time watching tv and turn it when he comes on, or they show his propaganda tweets. The media is partly to blame for trump by showing his lying nonstop.

Every Democrat should be screaming it every time anybody from the media gets near them.

Do not talk about anything else, until after the media makes it a clear and present danger to fucking cull people, because that is tRUMP's & republican's intent.

Democratic Party, force the damn media to report what is really going on!.. republicans are not your damn friends, your voters are.
